2 FIGURE 1 Frequency of anemia by cancer treatment during the European Cancer Anaemia Survey.27 CT, chemotherapy; RT, radiation therapy. *Analysis population, n = 1900 (missing data for two patients). Combination CT/RT refers to administration of CT and RT at different times (i.e., not concomitantly).

4 FIGURE 3 Treatment schema of a randomized, multicenter study evaluating the safety and efficacy of immediate versus delayed treatment of anemia with once-weekly epoetin alfa in patients with NSCLC receiving first-line chemotherapy.37 NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; SC, subcutaneously; QW, once weekly; Hb, hemoglobin.

5 FIGURE 4 Linear Analog Scale Assessment (LASA) Overall QOL scores during a randomized, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy of immediate versus delayed treatment with epoetin alfa in patients with NSCLC receiving first-line chemotherapy.37 QOL, quality of life; NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer. *Includes all control patients, including 48 patients who received epoetin alfa because Hb decreased to less than 10 g/dL. †p = 0.01 versus the immediate group.
